What Is Sexual Harassment in Anaheim

Sexual harassment in Anaheim happens in the same places you go every day: Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure, and the Disneyland Resort hotels (where 36,000 cast members work); hospital wards at Kaiser Permanente Orange County - Anaheim, AHMC Anaheim Regional Medical Center, and West Anaheim Medical Center; Anaheim Convention Center exhibit floors; Honda Center and Angel Stadium event days; hotel housekeeping floors at Hilton Anaheim, Anaheim Marriott, Sheraton Park Hotel, Westin Anaheim Resort, JW Marriott Anaheim, and many other Resort hotels; restaurant kitchens and bars at the Anaheim GardenWalk; and City of Anaheim and school-district workplaces. The most common Anaheim pattern is unwanted touching, comments, or pressure from a supervisor, coworker, hotel guest, or theme-park guest, followed by retaliation when the worker reports it.

Anaheim City Protections

Anaheim's Measure L Hospitality Industry Minimum Wage applies to wages, not directly to harassment, but it intersects with retaliation claims (an employee fired for asserting Measure L rights has both a wage claim and a Labor Code section 98.6 retaliation claim). Sexual harassment in Anaheim is governed by FEHA (Cal. Government Code section 12940(j)), which covers any Anaheim employer with 1 or more employees for harassment, and by federal Title VII (15 or more employees). California also requires sexual-harassment prevention training for all employees of companies with 5 or more workers (Cal. Government Code section 12950.1). For Kaiser Permanente Orange County - Anaheim, AHMC Anaheim Regional, West Anaheim Medical Center, and nearby CHOC workers, California Health and Safety Code section 1278.5 protects hospital workers who raise patient-safety concerns with a $25,000-per-violation civil penalty.
